Cork Registration Figures for November

Detailed Cork figures as at November 30th

Number of Clubs

In terms of the number of clubs, both Cork and Dublin stand apart from the other counties, with 35 Dublin clubs, while Cork has 53. These higher figures may be explained by Dublin's large population density, and Cork's sheer size, being the largest county.

Cork Athletics Registrations stand at 8,255 registered Cork Athletics-Athletics Ireland members.

Total Registrations

During November, Total registrations exceeded 60,000 for the first time, and now stand at 60,404, having more than doubled in number since 2009. As can be seen vividly from the graph, Cork and Dublin are the biggest counties, comprising over 25% of total registrations, with Meath and Galway both well ahead of the rest. Six counties; Dublin, Cork, meath, Galway, Kildare and Mayo, between them, make up over 50% of the total. At the other end, eleven counties: Monaghan, Carlow, Leitrim, Westmeath, Cavan, Roscommon, Longford, Antrim, Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh total just over 9% of total, however, in fairness, the latter four are in Northern Ireland.
